[The President of the United States (Harrison Ford) has come to Russia to celebrate the victory over a dictator who had been captured and put in prison by the US military.]

If only we had a president like this!  It would be nice for a change to have a president who gets up and states what should be said, rather than what is the politically correct thing to say.  The President speaks not from some well crafted speech, but from his heart.  Politicians should take a lesson from this movie.  You might be wondering if I am only going to spend this time going on about politics, but that is not my aim.

What the president did in that speech took courage.  You have to stand up to bullies, not give in to their demands, even if you get beat up.  You show them up by your resilience, I will still be here tomorrow and the day after that and the next day.  To remind them that you will not give up simply because they have power.  Granted, through the course of this movie there are terrorists who rise up and challenge the very courage the president stated.  It is a matter of courage, not just spoken, but lived out.  

Is there anything wrong going on in your world that you had sat idly by while it happened?  "All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke. It is our job as Christian, but also simply as human beings to stand up for what we know to be good, right, and true.
